Unwind in an Ayurvedic paradise

Nestling in the foothills of the majestic Himalayas, this Ayurvedic retreat overlooks the serene Ganja’s meandering tide. It’s an incredible spa experience that aims to enlighten your lifestyle by helping you discover the liberating benefits of traditional Indian healing systems, bringing your mind, body and soul into total harmony.

Set within 100 acres of the Maharajah of Tehri Garhwal’s sprawling palace estate, Ananda of the Himalayas is surrounded by enchanting Sal forests, setting the scene for a peaceful stay. Take in the stunning scenery during a spot of early-morning yoga, or meditate out in the clear, fresh air as your mind begins to clear. 

Open yourself up to the natural wonder of holistic healing and dispel aches, pains and tension with a deeply healing Reiki session, or try the ancient art of crystal healing to align your chakras and rebalance the flow of your energy.

Ananda’s signature treatments are designed to enhance your body’s wellbeing and relax your mind. Connect with the earth during a massage with a natural stone prepared by Indian craftsmen. Or sample an Ayurvedic experience, such as Shirodhara, a herbal oil treatment that promotes sleep and boosts memory.

To reawaken your body slightly more strenuously, take a liberating nature walk through the awe-inspiring landscape, stopping for a guided meditation. Or revel in the sudden rush of adrenalin as you white-water raft through the tempestuous rapids of the mighty Ganja.

All this is accompanied by exquisite cuisine – fresh, natural dishes tailored to your Ayurvedic body type and designed to revitalise your body and soul. You’ll savour the restaurant’s unique dishes as you take in the beautiful Yantric art to the soothing strains of classical music.

You’ll leave Ananda in the Himalayas with a new lease of life – physically, spiritually and emotionally.
